I know I should be writing this at the end of my birth day instead of in the beginning, but I don’t care because it’s my birthday, haha. Each time I stop to reflect, it hits me just how much I’m still learning and growing every day. A year ago, I was home sick and [...]

It has been the source of much of my happiness, sadness, anger, and any other emotion/adjective one could state about a physical location. It’s a shame [...]
